The "new" democrats basically use fraud to get elected. They run and win as GOP lite, but when they get to DC they are beholden to pelosi and emmanuael and will vote their radical leftist line.
Many of them are from Republican districts. I don't think they will move to the left right away, at least not in the first two year. If they do, they will say goodbye to their offices in 2008.
It was Clinton and the House Democratic Leadership that forced to take liberal votes in 93 that got them 'wiped out' in competitive districts.
I do not see them doing that again,nor the House leadership forcing them to do so, not if they want to stay in power.
The first year they will be the most compliant, but after that, I think they will have to think of winning reelection and they cannot go home with liberal voting records.
Bingo!
I suspect you are correct, but we'll have to wait and see. I don't think this latest election is as bad as it looks.
100 % right!
